Some Words on the Holy Trinity_______________________________________________________________________________________
This is from a sermon by the Rev Dr Robert Crouse for Trinity Sunday.
When we speak of God as Holy Trin-ity, we speak the language of theology. We speak of God as Father - God as source and
ground of being: we speak of God as Son, the eternally begotten word, the perfection of all knowledge; we speak of God as Spirit, the eternal will of God, the perfec-tion of all love. But whether or not we speak the language of theology in any sort of technical way, this doctrine and this fes-tival have a very basic practical religious significance for each one of us.
To know God as absolute Being, absolute Knowledge, and absolute Love, is to be spiritually reborn: it is to know ourselves as encompassed and upheld by Providen-tial care, and thus it is to see our own lives in a new spiritual perspective. It is to lose ourselves in the worship of a goodness and a glory infinitely beyond ourselves, infin-itely beyond all earthly things, infinitely beyond all worldly pretensions and petti-ness. It is to see our troubles, our frustra-tions, our disappointments, our ambitions and achievements, all in a new spiritual perspective, "high and lifted up" -- a radi-cally different perspective, the perspective of eternity.
But perhaps we ask, with Nicodemus, "Is this really possible? Is this really practi-cal? Can a man be born when he is old? How can these things be?" Nicodemus was
a sensible man, no doubt: a Pharisee, a leader of the Jews, and he couldn't let go of his supposedly sensible, practical perspec-tive. Jesus warned him, and Jesus warns us: unless you are spiritually reborn, you have no part in God's kingdom. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." It is what we worship that makes us what we are.
Being born anew of the Spirit means a broadening and deepening of our minds, a refocussing of our loves: "The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes; so is everyone that is born of the Spirit.” The ways of spiritual life are very different from the ways of world-liness, and seem strange and unpredictable to worldly eyes. Nicodemus, in his worldly wisdom, does not understand; to him it seems visionary and impractical, and he will not venture.
This festival of God the Holy Trinity sets before our eyes an open door in heaven. "Come up higher", says the trumpet. We are called to fix our minds and hearts upon the majesty and mystery of God - to lose ourselves in adoration of a goodness and a glory immeasurably beyond all earthly imagining, and to live our lives in the light of that vision. It is what we worship - what we really worship - that makes us what we are. It is whom we worship who makes us what we are. "So is everyone that is born of the Spirit." That is the challenge of this day. "Behold a door is opened in heaven." "Come up higher." That is the meaning of our worship.

Christian Classics Study Group in June! ______________________________________________________________________________________
Last month we said we would take a pause over the summer months and re-engage in the Autumn. However, we have a surprise event – Friday June 27 – Peter Boswick will lead us in a discussion of the letter of Clement to the Corinthians.
Peter writes: “This is the earliest of Christian works preserved (Probably between 70-100 AD), and counted among what is called the Apostolic Fathers, i.e. those who knew the Apostles. In many churches at the time it was used as
scripture in the church. “The Letter, which is actually from the Church in Rome, draws a beautiful picture of early Christian church life. Just as to-day, being church together wasn’t easy. The Church in Corinth was divided. And Clement tried to show them the way back to unity. He speaks about: (a) the key threat to church unity, (b) the essence and expression of this unity in the church, (c) and he commends a way to restoration to church unity.
Definitely something we can learn from.
You can find the text available for down-loading from Holy Trinity’s website. (or contact our chaplain by email: [email protected]) However, I’m sure there are other good translations in English or in Dutch.
We begin with dinner at 6:30pm, discussion from 8 to 9:30, and concluding with a time of fellowship. All are most welcome. Please let Hanna know if you’re coming so we can plan the dinner.”

Tower of Babel! _______________________________________________________________________________________
A contribution from Maya following her recent experience in hospital.
After several tiring years, this spring brought good news: the possibility of an operation in Amersfoort using robot technology and which would restore my energy. I wasn’t looking forward to being
operated upon by a robot and hoped that the anaesthetic would have taken hold before the monster approached the operating table. I would be much happier that way!
Anne and Henry kindly took me to the hospital and, being good Holy Trinitarians, we, of course, spoke English all the way! On arrival at the hospital I was whisked off to the operating room and before I could
catch a glimpse of the frightful mechanical creature that would operate upon me, I was fast asleep!
When I came to after the operation the nurse welcomed me back, in English. I asked her if she was English. “No,” she said, “but we had a long conversation in English while you were asleep.” Heaven knows what dark secrets I revealed to her while I was under the anaesthetic! Then from the other side of the room came a doctor who spoke to me enthusiastically in Spanish. After I had been taken back to my room, another nurse came up to me and started speaking French, hotly pursued by yet another who used fluent Italian! Apparently all these people thought that they should try to make this mysterious
5
foreign patient feel at home. Then they discovered that their ‘foreigner’ was a simple Dutch soul and the following day all conversation was held in Dutch and things went very smoothly.
There was no time to be bored in the hospital – quite the reverse! There seemed to be an unending procession of coffee, physiotherapists, tea, medical check-ups, fruit, showers, orange drinks, phone calls and in between, it was necessary to learn how to walk using a rollator. Who could have thought that you could get annoyed being in hospital? No one, surely! There were no boring people either. Each person made his contribution with kindness and a smile so that it was rather a pity when I was discharged and had to leave behind all the lovely people and delicious food, and my operation must have worn the surgeon out completely because the following day he had to go on vacation!
But of course it was good to go home and in a much better condition than I had been for the past few years. I has slept in a hospital only once before and that was when I translated for a Portuguese man who only spoke his own language. In that hospital they served breakfast at 5 o’clock
in the morning and I was so tired that I could barely find his mouth to feed him!
Life as an interpreter can have its funny side. There was once a young man from the Dominican Republic who had to appear in a court in Utrecht at 9 o’clock in the morning. Everybody was there in the courtroom, the judges, the public prosecutor, the clerk of the court, the mother of the boy and me, to translate everything. The clock reached 9 o’clock, and then 5 past nine, 10 past nine, a quarter past nine – everybody was there except the accused, Enrique. The judge instructed me to ask the mother if she knew where her son was. “Oh, don’t worry,” she said, “He’ll certainly turn up at some time during the course of the day.”
In another hospital I arranged for a Spanish lady to be able to stay in the same room as her sick husband, something that is possible in Spain. Then there was the sheik from Saudi Arabia who got very angry that he had to sleep alone in his hospital room while his secretary had to go to a hotel with his harem! Life can be so complicated! But I never dreamt that I would be working as a sort of interpreter in Amersfoort, of all places. That was the last thing that I had expected!

Update from our Ecumenical Reps: Judith Riet & Henk Korff_______________________________________________________________________________________
Ecumenical events June - July
The summer is nearing and so are the big summer events, notably the Tour de France. Slowly you can
see the whole city preparing for the expected influx of tourists and cyclists. Apart from the two-day main event, there are a lot more events in the weeks leading up the Tour start. Take note of the dates below, there are some exciting weeks coming!
June 19 and 20 Kerkennacht - Night of ChurchesThe Night of the Church is a biannual ecumenical event where dozens of churches, chapels and monasteries in the country open their doors and welcome visitors. On June 19 Dries van Agt, former prime minister and cycling fanatic, will open the event in the Dom church and present the theme Tour of the Soul. A creative and personal ‘layman sermon’ is given by former soap star Funda Müjde. Also the new event Utrecht Church Dictation is held on this evening. In our own church Mofish will give a concert on the 20th. If you are interested in the program of other churches, visit www.kerkennacht.nl
June 26 Opening Kerken Kijken Utrecht 2015 – Viewing ChurchesUtrechts is known as Kerkenstad or Church City with reason! The city can boost a large amount of historical churches, most still in function, with the medieval church cross as most attractive sight for tourists. In the summer months most churches in the inner city are open week long for sightseeing. The 2015
season of Kerken Kijken will last from June 26 till September 12. www.kerkenkijken.nl
June 27 Bidden met de Benen – Praying with your legs, walking and cycling tourThe USRK has organized Pilgrims’ tours along the churches that lay at or very nearby the cycle routes of 4 and 5 July. Over a dozen churches will be open to welcome pilgrims and tell them more about their mission and faith, their worship and time of services. There are two separate tours: the walking tour will start at the Rehobothkerk (Briljantlaan 6) and will mainly follow the route of the Prologue of July 4th. The cycling tour will start at the St. Gertrudiskerk (Amaliadwarsstraat 2) and will follow the longer route of July 5th. Both tours can be started between 10.30 and 14.00 and are free of charge.Both tours will also pass Holy Trinity Church!
July 4 ‘The last will be the first’ - Open air Ecumenical serviceTo bring together all Christians visiting and living in Utrecht, the USRK has organized an open air Ecumenical Service on Saturday evening, the day of the Prologue of the Grand Depart. The service, themed ‘the first will be the last’, will take place on the Nicolaarkerkhof, with the possibility to move to the Nicolaaskerk in case of bad weather.
We hope to hear a massed choir singing (in which you may take part), a children’s choir. A brass band and a street organ will accompany the singing of the worshippers. We hear readings from Holy Scripture in Danish, German, English and French. The address, however, will be heard in English.
7
The service begins at 19.30 and will last for about an hour. And, of course, you are most welcome to join us in this mission to all people passing by. May the Lord keep them attracted to listen.
July 5 Grand Depart Tour de FranceThough Holy Trinity Church may be difficult to reach that Sunday for visitors from outside the city, we can expect more visitors from outside the country. The church will hold the regular 9 o‘clock and 11 o’clock services and be especially open for visitors. The shared lunch that day will provide the opportunity to stay in the city till traffic has cleared a bit or to find a spot close to the cycling track. We hope to spread the message to all visitors of the
city that HTC provides the opportunity to attend an early, English language service with plenty of time to find a spot right next to the track, or to stay longer and enjoy a shared lunch. www.tourdefranceutrecht.com/en
VolunteersWe are looking for volunteers to make the events in our own church possible! Notably:
- Decorating the church, perhaps do some promotion
- People willing to man the church on the 27th, welcome the visitors and tell something about our beautiful church.

Tour - In Utrecht ‘City of Churches’
The churches in Utrecht welcome all, fellow-townsmen and visitors, during the Tour de France.
The city of Utrecht is preparing for the greatest cycling event, the Tour de France. The tour train will touch down at the beginning of July: the time trial is run on Saturday July 4th and the
Grand Depart on Sunday July 5th. It is expected that we will receive 500.000 – 800.000 visitors to our city.
A large part of our city will only be accessible by foot, not by bicycles let alone by car. For all churchgoers this means that on Sunday July 5th will not be a regular church visit! The Utrecht City Council of Church (USRK) has realised this being an opportunity and started with meetings
about this event last autumn. Without avoiding all the limitations this event will bring about, the council is keen to make use of all the opportunities tied to this event. There are plenty of questions of course such as: ‘why does this happen now?’ and ‘why does is spent so much money?’. It is however obvious that Utrecht will be put on the map and the USRK wants to colour in the map with churches and faith.
Two events are organised for Saturday June 27th. One will be a walk past all the churches in the vicinity of the time trial track. Participants of this walk will mostly pass by innercity churches. The bicycle trip roughly follows the track of the first stage of the Tour and will go through
8
Leidsche Rijn to De Meern.
For Saturday July 4th an ecumenical celebration is being prepared which will take place at the Nicolaaskerkhof. The ecumenical character of this celebration is shown through the various hymns, music and the message of the various pastors from the different churches (PKN, Baptist and Roman Catholic). With the theme ‘The last will be the first’ the churches of Utrecht will present a different view on winning and losing.
The night will start at 7.30pm and we are hoping for good weather. The location will be at the square (near the Centraal Museum) and not in the Nicolaïkerk adjacent to the square. However, in case of
bad weather we will be able to use that building.
During the celebration we will use various surprising instruments which are not usually used during church services, such as a brass band and a barrel-organ. There will be dancing and an interchurch choir will support our community singing and we will listen to a children’s choir.
The USRK hopes that churches are open despite being not easily accessible, to all church-goers on the 4th and 5th of July so that visitors are able to enjoy Utrecht’s beautiful city churches. Not only from a cultural-historical perspective but also enjoying the vital church communities within those beautiful houses of God.

Clothing for the Coptic Christians in Egypt
Maya Hoogveld has been collecting used clothing for distribu-tion to charities overseas for years now. At present, collec-tions of clothing can be brought to the Holy Trinity Church Parsonage Hall on the first Sunday of every month. Maya will bring them to the Coptic Church in Utrecht and they arrange for the clothing to be sent in bundles to those in need in Cairo, Egypt. If you have any clothing that you no longer have need of, please show your love for your neighbour by bringing it for someone else who can use it.

Gluten Free Communion Hosts
In the past month Holy Trinity Church has begun to make available gluten free communion hosts at the service for those who are gluten sensitive. Paula Iturra has sent to me this very helpful video on you-tube explaining why this is important. She comments, “It’s quite a positive story concerning a nun.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z937yRGPf5M
Let the chaplain know before service if you have a gluten sensitivity. _______________________________________________________________________________________
In Lent 2016 we are planning a Pilgrimage to the Holy Land and a Chap-laincy Monastic Retreat in the Netherlands
We hope to provide two opportunities for Christian fellowship and learning and deepening of our faith in 2016 with a Pilgrimage to Israel and a monastic retreat close to home. Lent next year begins on with Ash Wednesday on February 18 next year – we hope to have these two possibilities within the first three weeks of Lent. If you are interested in either or both, please keep a bit of space on your diary for the end of February, or early March – we will give precise dates soon._______________________________________________________________________________________
Chaplain to take Intensive Dutch Course in August
Our chaplain has signed up for an intensive Dutch course at the Katholic Universitiet de Leu-ven in Leuven, Belgium for four weeks during this coming August. He will return on Sun-days to take services. Please pray for him! (you can correct his funny accent later )

Building Maintenance Committee Work
In the past two months the Building Main-tenance Committee has overseen the com-pletion of three projects: the installation of a plaque in the church to remember priests who have served at Holy Trinity since the church in Utrecht was built in 1913; the transformation of our Church Vestry so that thee better storage capacity in cabinets
and more room in the Vestry (have a look!); the upgrading of our sound system in the church and the recovery of a loop system for those who are hard of hearing. The next project, expected to be completed in the next month, is the addition of a bath-room to the 2nd story of the Parsonage.
